Subject: Net::HTTP works on localhost, but error Errno::ECONNRESET

Hi All,

Newbie here, on XP with Ruby 1.8.6.25, I am trying to post a request to
an external service basic HTTP/XML Form Post. I have tried multiple
test, but getting this error,

Errno::ECONNRESET (An existing connection was forcibly closed by the
remote host.):
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:133:in `sysread'
    c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:133:in `rbuf_fill'

The code,
    url = URI.parse('http://www.yahoo.com') # not working
    url = URI.parse('http://localhost:8080/default.txt') # working fine

    http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host)
    puts "===== Begin ======"
    puts url.path
    puts url.host
    puts url.port

    res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) {|http|
      http.get('/index.htm')
    }
    puts res.body
    @result = res.body
    puts "===== End ======"

No proxy. Downloading 1.8.5 to give it a try.

Anyone experience similar issue? Recommendation to use other library to
make HTTP/XML call?

Really appreciated!

Cheers,
Calebmei
